Child Injury NewsChildren who are victims of medical malpractice often suffer significant injury or death during the birthing process. Many times the negligence goes unreported due to the parents’ unawareness and/or because the child’s injuries are less than catastrophic or severe.
In many cases, the child presents to the physician or hospital with a non-life threatening illness or an illness that can be easily treated, only to be misdiagnosed and improperly treated.
Delivery room errors and birth injuries are among the most tragic types of medical malpractice. The long term affects on the newborn can often last a lifetime.
In order to determine if a child has been the victim of medical malpractice, it is essential to have all of the medical records reviewed by an experienced child medical malpractice lawyer.
